    @ellie2000 , this is a great question, and thank you so much for asking.

    When I feel lonely or worried, I try to do something that helps me feel safe.

    Sometimes I talk to someone I trust, or I wear my favourite big jumper, or listen to music I like.

    I remind myself that it’s okay to feel this way, and I don’t have to go through it all by myself. There are people who care about me and want to help.

    What do you feel like helps you when you're feeling lonely or a bit worried?

    hey @ellie2000 hru today? <3
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    @eylah I got home today frm being at mums to calm down abit. I had the usual wellbeing call so I put a note on the door, after the wellbeing call I heard the doorbell for support, but they're sh*t. So I waited abit then I went out to c if they had left, n I saw the note had gone, r they allowed to take stuff? Was the note I wrote of my ownership? If I phrased it correctly

    Hey @ellie2000 have you been able to speak to someone about this? I wonder if this is something you'd feel comfortable sharing with your mum and seeing what she says? You deserve support Ellie and to feel heard.
